Plenty of people who aren’t even huge jazz fans can find a lot to love in the near-supernatural, vibrantly dense trance of Miles Davis’ classic “Bitches Brew.” Like many new to Davis’ extensive catalog, I had it recommended to me as a first step, and got into it pretty …

Jack Tragic & The Unfortunates were punk band from Connecticut, USA, who released full-blown, phenomenal hardcore during the time punk was on its way down. These guys were just about as obscure as they got and seemed to surface a couple years late. Their 1983 single, “I Kill Hippies”/”Mind …

“Girls, Girls, Girls”
The Blueprint
Roc-A-Fella Records
Jay-Z follows up “Izzo (H.O.V.A.)” with his second single and music video “Girls, Girls, Girls” from his sixth album titled “The Blueprint”. I will begin by saying the music video has some good production values and is a bit more interesting than his previous tart …

Lonely Day is a song by System Of A Down and is the penultimate track on Hypnotize, the second half of their double album Mezmerize/Hypnotize. Something to take note of is that Daron Malakian takes lead vocals on this track and this really isn’t a song to be listening …

BORNS is one of the up and coming musicians this year that really got me interested. From the first time I heard him in his wonderfully-crafted “10,000 Emerald Pools”, I knew that I will be captivated in his following efforts. And he never failed, far from it.

“Be Without You”
Performer: Mary J. Blige
Every since I can remember, I have been a fan–I use the term loosely–of Mary J. Blige’s music. I say I use the term loosely because I don’t really consider myself a fan: Fans stand out in the rain for concert tickets; fans plaster …

I generally do not listen to classical forms of music a lot, but on a rare occasion I will listen to the music of select singers and musicians. One of these people is the English born singer Sarah Brightman. There are so many things that I like about her …
